The 26-year-old singer/actor opened up with Bello mag recently about the live production, his memories of the movie, and more. Check it:

On the moment he first watched Grease: “I think I must have been 16 years old. I did a production of the show at the JCC (Jewish Community Center) in south Florida and I watched the movie for inspiration. I played Danny and I remember it being the first musical where I was a lead.”

On his experience with the cast: “It has been so fun working with everyone in the cast. The theatre world is so close. Our little group has become so close. It’s really sad to know that in just a few days this whole experience will be over. I know we all plan on staying in touch and some of us will hopefully be working together again!”

On what’s next: “Once Grease: Live is done I am jumping back in the studio to finish a few more songs for my spanglish music project. Things are moving along and I am very excited to share all these songs with you!”
